   Brandywine school district in Delaware

   Went there grades 5-11, at the time 3rd rated School district in the country.

   Why would they name a school after this fool?

   Biden does not currently have any Delaware schools named after him, though there is an environmental center in Delaware’s Cape Henlopen State Park bearing his name.

    The scary thing is that Biden’s son was supposed to run for his senate seat. He didn’t because he thought Castle would clean his clock.

    During his first year there (at Syracuse University Law School,) he (Biden)was accused of having plagiarized 5 of 15 pages of a law review article. Biden said it was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and he was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F, which was subsequently dropped from his record.[18]

    A local school district in Joe Biden’s own state snubbed America’s No. 2 by opting not to name a new elementary school after him.

    9/18/87 NY Times:
    

    The file also included Mr. Biden’s transcript from his days as an undergraduate at the University of Delaware. In his first three semesters, his grades were C’s or D’s, with three exceptions: two A’s in physical education courses, a B in a course on ”Great English Writers” and an F in R.O.T.C. The grades improved somewhat later but were never exceptional.

    Although, I hear that Joe speaks very good “Indian” when he frequents 7-11′s in the Wilmington area.

    I can’t speak for the whole state, but there is at least one guy in TN that is happy to have one of those “killing machines” named for his state.

    I’d have referred to it as a “boomer”, but that might be a breach of protocol, as I haven’t served as so much as a Cub Scout, and I’m kind of a land lubber to boot.

    Fork-Tailed Devil by Martin Caidin

    Happy to meet a kindred spirit!

    Just the little summary I read sounds great, and confirms some suspicions I had about the plane (not really intended as a fighter, and would have been a great bomber-killer).

    I always thought that we goofed by not using them (for their range, firepower, and redundant engines) as forward attack aircraft to constantly strafe and harass trains, convoys, and bridges in Europe. When they finally decided to go with a plan like that, they used the P51… such a waste.

    When they finally decided to go with a plan like that, they used the P51… such a waste.

    That’s one of the issues that Caidin addresses in Fork-Tailed Devil. 8th Air Force command had to make a decision; P-38 for long range escort vs. P-51. The Allison engines on the 38s were causing mechanical grief and there were two of them. They went with the Mustang. Not a bad choice, though. As for ground attack, they went with the P-47. Rugged, fast, and that big Pratt 2800 could lose a cylinder and keep on going. Easy choices for the ETO command.

    However, General Kenney, commander of the 5th AF in the Pacific asked for unlimited numbers of B-24s, B-25s, C-47s, and P-38s. He said if he was given those, he’d win the war. He did.
